Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the facilities were top notch, and the food excellent.

My wife and I stopped here as part of honeymoon last year. We had 4 fantastic nights in this fantastic hotel. The rooms are great, the staff are so friendly and its a great location. When we arrived we were 2 hours before the check in time but they let us go and have breakfast and drinks at no extra charge. When they realised it was our honeymoon we were upgraded from a double room to a suite and recieved a bottle or red wine (was very nice!) and a large 'congratulations' cake. It was also my birthday 2 days in to the stay and we recieved another cake Free!!! Overall 5 out of 5! Would recoment this hotel and Dubai to anyone. If you can, rent a car and driver for the day to drive you around the sights and shops. We did and he took us to the markets and the shops and then dropped us off for our evening meal. It only cost us about £50 for the driver, car (nice Toyota) and fuel. Fantastic. Can you tell i like Dubai a lot!!

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights at the beginning of November and then a further 3 nights at the end of November. The first trip to the hotel I got what I imagined, great room, great staff, and great location.
The hotel has many restaurants of a very high standard and a great bar called Longs! The room which we had was of a good size and even had welcome treats on the coffee table which was a nice touch. Bathroom was clean and spacious, with plenty of towels!
Getting out and about from this hotel is easy, taxis are always outside and there is free valet parking if you have a car.
The hotel has a pool and gym, but i never went to them, but could see the pool from the room, it looked ok, if a bit small.
The second trip there was also of the same standard except the room. I had requested a non smoking room, but I didn't get it. Now I wouldn't normally mind, but this room really smelt bad, and I mean BAD... I assume that because my check-in was later than usual (after 9pm) they gave all the non smoking rooms away. The room was smaller than what i had before and the bathroom a little pokey but neverless still clean and plenty of towels. No welcome treats this time on the coffee table, just an ashtray! so just a word of warning if you want a non-smoking room, make sure you book one and then contact the hotel just to make sure. Other than that all other hotel facilities were good, and if I go and stay in Dubai again I would still pick this hotel purely for location.

I picked this hotel mainly because of its good location. It is right on Sheikh Zayed Road and is closer to Jumeirah than to Deira.

When I first checked in I was given a really small room that immediately made me uncomfortable. I asked for a change of room and so was upgrade me to a deluxe room at an extra charge of 60 AED per night.

This room was much better as it had a sitting area opposite the bed. The furniture seemed old but very clean. I got a complimentary bottle of water each day which I was thankful for. The prices in the Mini bar were expensive as you might expect but the beer (cans) was only 17 AED. That is cheaper than other hotels I have been to.

The one thing I was concerned about was the proximity of my room to the elevator and the noise that I might hear. The elevator itself was no problem but I could clearly hear anyone speaking at the corridor. The room next to mine was occupied by a family whose noise was audible as well, but not too bad. I was able to sleep soundly as the floor good was quite silent at night.

The hotel has two very good and busy restaurants plus a lively bar. Teatro has excellent grills(I had a burger) and salads. Long's bar is a lively bar, but awful music. They used to have a live band but not anymore. If you can stand techno music for a long time then this bar will be an excellent choice.

Taxis at the door are easy to get. I had no problems there.

Check out was quick and the hotel did not charge me for the upgrade. Nice people at the reception. A guy named Jafer was exceptionally helpful.

This four star hotel is a very good alternative to the mega five star hotels in Dubai, and if you get a good deal on it then it would be a great option.
